Re: Firmware Update on Brocade 5000

You'll also have several firmware updates to get to that revision. You'll need to upgrade one-version at a time. You're looking at being busy for a while, luckily the upgrades are nion

One suggestion also, is to upgrade the firmware on one fabric at a time. Upgrade Fabric A one weekend, then Fabric B the next. If you're not using any of the fancy features, you probably won't see much difference.

You should probably check your storage vendor for all of that stuff. If your arrays are EMC, they have a compatibility matrix, as well as a HEAT tool that will analyze all of your servers and let you know if you need firmware/driver updates.
